    "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. I would like to add my voice to this petition because my constituency of Kilifi North is one of the constituencies that were heavily affected by the investments of African Safari Club. My constituency lost two hotels that were owned by the African Safari Club that is, Watamu Beach Hotel and the Sea Horse Hotel. These two hotels employed over 2000 people and when they collapsed, these people had debts. They had not been paid their salaries, allowances and arrears of colossal amount of money. When African Safari Club exited the scene, they sold their properties but forgot the employees who had served them for very many years. Some of them were employed on permanent basis and had invested their lives working for these people. When they closed, their pensions and everything just went down the drain. Today, you will find people who are almost going mad because they do not know how to make ends meet. This amounts to poor labour practices by foreign investors in this country who do not see the local people working for them as important.
